How to file this claim
- Confirm you held Horsehead Holding Corp. common stock or any of the covered note series during February 25, 2014 through February 2, 2016 — that was the class period.
- Understand that the Claim Form Deadline was 2021-05-28 and the fund has already been paid out — new claims are not being accepted.
- If you filed a timely claim and never received a payment, contact the claims administrator at Strategic Claims Services: toll-free (866) 274-4004 or claims@horseheadlitigation.com.
- For questions about your legal rights, reach Lead Counsel Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP at (310) 201-9150.
Watch out for
- The fund is marked Disbursed — no new money is coming. Anyone asking you to pay a fee to recover from this settlement is running a scam.
- Only securities with these specific CUSIPs qualified: common stock (#440694305), 3.8% convertible senior notes (#440694AB3), 10.50% senior secured notes (#440694AC1, #440694AE7, #440694AF4), and 9% senior unsecured notes (#440694AG2).
- The official settlement website is horseheadlitigation.com — any other domain handling claims for this case is not legitimate.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
